Roop freed her hand, making him halt his steps. He watched her walk back inside, a fear gripping his throat in a tight grip.

Almost bumping into Mihir who was coming outside, she marched towards Nandini, delivering a tight slap on her cheek.

"This was for hurting my Amrit. Try something again and I'll give you the most painful death and trust me, I have read enough murder mysteries to make it look like an accident." She stepped closer, "No one would be able to stop me." She added, pushing Saanvi away who rushed to save her mother before walking out of the house, leaving everyone in an eerie silence behind.

She saw Amrit getting inside the car, she rushed to take a seat too.

"That was so cool." She heard a second later, turning behind to see Avni in shock, "We followed you behind." She told her, nudging Mihir and Rahil to say something.

Amrit let out a sigh, wanting to be alone but at the same time, the fear that was eating him was slowly fading away.

Before anyone could say anything, a knock on the window interrupted, and a very nervous Ishani stood outside.

"What do you want now?" Mihir asked.

"Can I join you guys too?" She asked.

"Jagah nahi hai, tu wapas jaa." Mihir shooed her away.
(There's not enough space, go back.)

"Wapas? Itna grand exit liya maine aise wapas jaane me awkward lagega na!" She told them.
(Go back? I just took a grand exit, it will be awkward to go back now!)

"Get inside." Amrit said before Mihir can.

Ishani quickly got inside, sitting on Rahil's legs with spreading her legs on Avni and Mihir's lap.

"Kya yaar bhai!" Mihir whined.

"Bhains." Rahil whispered, leaning back. (Buffalo)

"Ye kya le kar ghoom rahi hai?" Mihir asked, looking at her hands.
(what is this are you walking around with?)

"I pulled out di's extensions." She replied, waving the piece of hair in the air.

"Ooh, rakh le rakh le..maine kaala jaadu seekha hai recently." He quickly told her, getting excited to use her hair.
(Ooh, keep it safe, I have learnt how to do black magic recently.)

"Just throw it out Ishani." Rahil rolled his eyes, snatching the piece of hair and throwing it out.

"Apne pati ko samjha lo, maine koot dena hai kisi din." Mihir said to Avni, ignoring their banter, Amrit drove out of the mansion's driveway.
(Keep your husband under control, I will beat him someday)

Roop kept a hand over Amrit's knee, stopping his leg from bouncing continuously.

The silence was becoming too much for Mihir so he opened his mouth again.

"Tu na gadhi hai, kisi ko to rukna chahiye tha na dekhne ke liye ki peeche se udhar ho kya raha hai." Mihir shook his head disappointedly.
(You're stupid, atleast one of us should've stayed back to see what was happening back there.)

"Aap wapas jaao." Avni turned to Rahil with a serious expression on her face.
(You have to go back)

"Excuse me? Ahh, Ishani, will you stop moving?" He asked in an annoyed voice.

Their voices faded out when Roop felt Amrit's hand on hers, she didn't waste time entwining their fingers before bringing his hand upto her mouth and kissing it.

Avni was quick to keep a hand over Mihir's mouth before he disturbed the moment with his commentary.

The ride to the penthouse wasn't long since Avni, Ishani and Mihir were looking around in awe, choosing which room they wanted for themselves.
